Castongia Tractor Wins 2024 Jasper County Fair Parade

RENSSELAER, Ind. – Fairgoers gathered at lunchtime on Sunday, July 21, to witness the Jasper County Fair parade. Antique tractors, parade floats, and John Deere® Gators lined the road near the South Entrance in preparation for the route. 


The Castongia Tractor team hurried to inflate balloons, tape down signs, and distribute candy to their riders. Four John Deere Gators were decorated for the occasion; one celebrating the 100th year of the fair, one honoring Castongia’s 85th anniversary, another decorated as a Grand Champion steer, and one as a First Place pig. 


The route looped through the camping area, by the Fair Office, and past the livestock barns. Streets were lined with 4-Hers and visitors and everyone left with an armful of candy. 


On behalf of Castongia Tractor, the announcer read, “Castongia Tractor is proud to celebrate 85 years of Helping You Grow! We wish all 4-Hers the best of luck during the 100-Year Jasper County Fair. We look forward to continuing our long-standing support of your 4-H programs.” 


Castongia Tractor was chosen as the overall parade entry winner when the parade concluded.
